This year marks the 75th anniversary for Golden Valley Electric Association. It began as a dream of the early residents of Fairbanks - to bring reliable electricity to the rural areas of Interior Alaska and today we serve nearly 100,000 residents across the Interior! In the beginning, farmers were particularly interested in electricity to further agricultural development in the Tanana Valley. GVEA continues to work to safely provide member-owners with reliable electric service, quality customer service and innovative energy solutions and fair and reasonable prices.
